From my experience in maths and physics there are slightly more guys than girls. But it's nothing like engineering where the guy:girl ratio is like 50:1.

Wait, the guy:girl ratio for Engineering is like 50:1?

How the hell am I going to survive university?

Seriously though, don't worry about that ratio, it's just an estimate. Yes, in the engineering faculty you'll probably notice much more guys than girls. But the guy:girl ratio also depends on which stream you're doing. In some streams such as mechanical, guys far out number the girls whereas in software engineering and especially civil, it's a more even split.

In most streams of engineering, two first year maths subjects are compulsory. There are plenty of girls in those.

Okay, more reason for me to consider software instead of mechanical.

During my info session, it was nearly a 50/50 split bw guys and girls (prob 60/40 at the most in favour of the guys), which is not too bad if u ask me.

I will ignore the fact that this discussion is dead and add my own gleeful trilling...

I am also doing Science at the esteemed University this year as part of a double degree. Not too sure on my first year subjects yet, but I have a bit of time to choose since I enroll on the 19th of February.

Some of the science boffins are quite scary. The one on Enrollment Day I had had one of those laser pointer things and kept threating people with it...:eek:
